While it was an odd way to come across this quote, it’s very much worth sharing.
“Simply that life is short, but art is even shorter.”
This sums up a good third of what I write and preach. Our life expectancy as humans can be measured, it even has an average of 78 years. The life expectancy of any kind of art… much more difficult to measure.
In fact, you can’t measure it. Which is why artists need continuously make more art. As far as I know, there has only been one Hamlet and one Van Gogh. Meaning, very few artists have created timeless art.
But I guarantee, you’re chances of having created something timeless increases with the more art you make.
